Indeed, it's much easier now :-)  It's the first time I can build it.
I had to use this since there are probably still options that the user
has to tune :

      make CC='gcc -DHAVE_SYS_VFS_H'

I think we can plan on adding a CFLAGS or whatever variable and enumerate
the most common defines that users may need. They're all supposed to be
sufficiently autonomous developers to be able to figure what they need
to pass to build it.

We also need to make this "python3" thing a variable in the makefile. On
my previous distro, it was called "python". Same, developers will just
have to force the variable if they want.

Everything looks good this way, I'll spread the word here to the team.
We may propose you some patches for the few points above, and after this
I think we can update our doc in haproxy to refer to the vtest repo and
suggest how to build it.

Thank you!
Willy
